To assemble a large-sized back frame 23, the joint section 2311 that is close to the very end of the first primary assembling piece 231 is first taken and a second primary assembling piece 232 having a corresponding width is selected. Afterwards, an end of the second primary assembling piece 232 is positioned in the recess of the joint section 2311. And then, means, such as screwing, fastening, or welding, is applied to join and fix the end of the second primary assembling piece 232 to the joint section 2311. To assemble a small-sized back frame 23, the joint section 2312 that is distant from the very end of the first primary assembling piece 231 is first chosen and a second primary assembling piece 232 having a corresponding width is selected. Afterwards, an end of the second primary assembling piece 232 is positioned in the recess of the joint section 2312. And then, means, such as screwing, fastening, or welding, is applied to join and fix the end of the second primary assembling piece 232 to the joint section 2312.

Referring to FIG. 11, FIG. 11 is a schematic view showing a joining structure of a joint section of a back frame of a flat panel display device according to a ninth embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 11, to allow of selection of the size of the back frame 23 in another direction, for example the second primary assembling piece 232 forms a protrusion at a corresponding location on a surface thereof, and the protrusion of the second primary assembling piece 232 is embedded in the recess the first primary assembling piece 231 at a corresponding location in order to join the first primary assembling piece 231 and the second primary assembling piece 232. Further, the second primary assembling piece 232 may form, on a surface of one end thereof, at least two protrusions that are spaced in the lengthwise direction of the second primary assembling piece 232, such as two, three, or four protrusions.

Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 12, FIG. 12 is a schematic view showing a joining structure of a joint section of a back frame of a flat panel display device according to a tenth embodiment of the present invention. The recess of the first primary assembling piece 231 can be a recess of a multi-stepped configuration and the second primary assembling piece 232 forms, at a corresponding location, a protrusion having a multi-stepped configuration corresponding to the recess.

Further, as shown in FIG. 13, FIG. 13 is a schematic view showing a joining structure of a joint section of a back frame of a flat panel display device according to an eleventh embodiment of the present invention.

2311, 2312 are recesses that extend through opposite surfaces of the first primary assembling piece 231, whereby an end of the second primary assembling piece 232 is movable within the

joint sections

2311, 2312. For example, after the end of the second primary assembling piece 232 is set extending beyond and joined and fixed to the joint section 2312, the portion of extension is then trimmed off so that the length of the second primary assembling piece 232 that serves as a primary assembling piece of the back frame can be adjusted and thus back frames of different sizes can be obtained.

In a practical application, the other end of the first primary assembling piece 231 and both ends of the third primary assembling piece 233 are all provided with two joint sections having a structure identical to that of the

joint sections

2311, 2312. The ends of the second primary assembling piece 232 and the ends of the fourth primary assembling piece 234 may be subjected to specific designs or no design at all according to different applications. For example:

(1) In a first situation, as shown in FIG. 10, the two ends of the second primary assembling piece 232 and the two ends of the fourth primary assembling piece 234 are of no specific design. In other words, the ends are of the same structure as the remaining portions. Under this condition, in making a join with a selected joint section 2311 (2312) at one end of the first primary assembling piece 231 (the same applicable to the other end), if an attempt is made to change the width of the back frame 23, then the length of the corresponding second primary assembling piece 232 and fourth primary assembling piece 234 must be selected accordingly. Namely, if the joint section 2311 that is close to the very end of the first primary assembling piece 231 is selected for joining, then no trimming is applied to the second primary assembling piece 232 and the fourth primary assembling piece 234 or the portion that is trimmed off is short; if the joint section 2312 that is distant from the very end of the first primary assembling piece 231 is selected for joining, then the second primary assembling piece 232 and the fourth primary assembling piece 234 are trimmed and the trimmed portion being long or short is according to the distance that the joint section is from the very end of the first primary assembling piece 231 being great or small; and

(2) In a second situation, it is similar to the first situation, but as shown in FIG. 11, the second primary assembling piece 232 and the fourth primary assembling piece 234 use different protrusions to respectively mate the first primary assembling piece 231 and the third primary assembling piece 233 in order to realize change of width of the back frame 23; similarly, if a joint section 2312 other than the first joint section 2311 that is close to the very end of the first primary assembling piece 231 is selected for joining, then before or after joining, excessive portions of the second primary assembling piece 232 and the fourth primary assembling piece 234 may be trimmed off.

This also applicable to an embodiment of the main frame structure 27 of the back frame 23 that is formed by only joining two L-shaped primary assembling pieces.
